    -Cord is 8 feet, plenty long for me. Anything over 7 is acceptable. It's not wireless, keep that in mind. You don't want a wireless controller for your pc anyway, but for gaming on an Xbox one I can understand why you'd want a wireless controller. (Microsoft still can't get their wireless controllers to work well on their own pc OS. So just avoid that dream for now unless you're tech savvy. It's literally plug and play on PC. Steam works immediately with it.) - Buttons work great. If yours doesn't, send it back and order a new one. I guarantee it's just bad luck. The packaging is too nice for me to assume the company cares about quality, and mine came in mint condition. As for the analog sticks, they work perfectly. No deadzone, no areas of non responsiveness, not too large and not too small (although that's preference.) Tip: If your rubber starts to peel off, (mine has not) there are rubber covers you can buy for all your controllers! I'd recommend looking into those instead of getting an all new controller. I used them on my old xbox 360 sticks and they worked great. I literally just tried them on this controller and they also fit perfectly, which means if my rubber does wear off, meh, no big deal! Just fit them over these ones and they work just as great. -Fits well in my hands. Feels similar to the slim xbox 360 controllers I loved. The official xbone controllers are a bit bigger I believe. I prefer the size, honestly. But I'm just used to smaller controllers so it's more of a personal thing that I enjoy. - Plastic isn't that cheap, but you can tell its probably not going to survive long if you smash it a few dozen times. If you're a rager, take it out on something else. This controller probably won't survive your hate inspired rage from dying in dark souls.... But then again, it's only 17 bucks. You could buy almost three of them for the price of one official xbone controller. Which makes it a more economical device to rage on if you think about it.... :) Favorite part? My old 360 controllers which i used for PC gameplay exclusively would have the wires go bad.... It's hard to prevent wires bending naturally just from gravity. Sadly, this meant the entire controller was doomed unless i invested in repairing the wire (hardly economical. Not worth my time and not worth the money.) But this wire is removable, so you can just buy a new cord from gamestop for 7-9 bucks depending. So as long as you keep the controller itself running, feel free to treat the wire however you wish, since you can replace it easily. The wire isn't really that flimsy either. I saw some people claim it was, which scared me away from this (and I ultimately bought awful controllers off Amazon instead, before taking a stab at this one.) I don't know what sort of wires they're used to. These seem solid enough. If you want more strength, use the inside of a ball pen to strengthen it, or cover it in tape. There are ways to strengthen wire bends if you ever get one. But since you can detatch the wire from the controller, safe storage should be easier and ultimately preserve your wire longer. But again, the wires seem fine. Those reviews are some serious fake news ;) Highly recommended. After buying many other controllers and returning them, this one I won't be returning. And if it breaks I'll gladly buy it again. Why spend 50+ bucks when you can spend 19 including tax? Plus the color is really cool :) feels great to game with it. If my review leads you to purchase this controller, I hope yours comes in the same beautiful condition that mine did. I'm not easy to please either, I've returned two controllers in the last month. This one impressed me. Best to you all.

    Love this over the Steel Series Duo

    I like most thought the Steelseries Duo was the controller to get. Overall its super solid good controller; but one very BIG ISSUE. It doesn't support L3 run/sprint capabilities. So be warned. Well upset and not sure what to do I figure I would go with Microsoft. This PDP controller hands down ROCKs. Here how: **Feel/Touch - this is superb in the feel if you are used to the standard Xbox 1 controllers or Xbox 360 like me this will feel the same and has a good weight for prolong gaming. ** Look I selected the "camo" due to it was on sale but after I brought it home and unboxed it. I noticed it is a more reflective shine of a camo color that glistens when you tilt it up and down side to side. **How it behaves Very responsive and quick with buttons and movement of the joysticks and triggers. Overall It is a solid wired controller. I am starting to prefer more wired than wireless especially after the Steelseries let down; but this controller is superb and it has sprint capabilities. Main games I play with this controller" Monster Hunter World, Destiny 2, StarWars Jedi (Fallen Order), Outer Worlds.

    Just got the controller today and played a few games of halo and a few rounds of rocket league. Controller felt very responsive and had a nice feel. Size wise, it is very similar to the xbox one controller that came with the console when it first launched, which I think is a nice thing. Buttons feel really good. D-Pad is spongy, which might not be great for Tekken. Triggers feel fine. Without headphones you can hear the spring when you press down on them. Joysticks are really good feeling. Nice smooth movement and the rubber on the knobs feel good. Has a couple extra features built in which are super cool. The D-Pad doubles as a sound control center. There's a small button next to the right joy stick, hold it down and then you can raise or lower the volume and you can adjust the balance between game and chat as well. If you double click the audio button it mutes the mic and there is a small LED to show that it's muted, which is super awesome when using a headset without a switch builtin on the line, like apple earpods. There's an Xbox One app and a PC app, which is loaded with features. Everything the Elite 2 controller software can do the Pdp software can do as well, plus more. You can adjust the deadzone which is awesome, something you can't do on the elite controller. Also has features to let you diagnose the controller if something goes wrong. Controller doesn't feel cheap but doesn't weigh as much as a standard controller which may be due to the fact that there aren't any batteries. The wire it comes with is super thick and probably needs more time to loosen up. Right now it's holding the shape of how it was when it was packaged. Plugging the cable into the controller has a really nice feature where the cable is supported by the controller so that you don't have to worry about breaking the port. Good controller and would recommend if you're having trouble finding Microsoft Controllers or are dealing with deadzone on controllers. Found it on sale for $21. I think the camo one might have back buttons on it which would make it really competitive to the elite controllers.

    I'm using this wired controller to play games on my Alienware Laptop Windows 10 PC. It works well enough, the vibration of the controller is very strong, and the black camo is a nice touch.. The controller feels high quality, and all buttons have nice feel and feedback. The wire is 8 feet long, and plugs in securely to both the controller, and laptop. I would recommend this controller, the price is right, and it functions as it should.

    A week after getting this controller one of the knobs broke. Upon further inspection the knobs are attached to a very thin post on the controller board. The knob itself has a very small, thin-walled hole that goes over the post. I've had PDP controllers for years and have abused them to varying degrees with no ill effects. My six year old broke it playing with it for a week.

    This PDP Wired Xbox One X Controller in Purple is a very good controller for Steam games as it was easy to setup and use. Defiantly recommend if you want a controller that can be used on the PC and play Steam games.

    The controller is good for the price, the headphone jack has static when I use the headphones to talk in the game but when I connected the headphones to the original controller it was clear. I purchased the purple and blue controller at the same time.

    Son picked this for his birthday. Looks nice, seemed to work ok. 2nd day he played on it the left joystick broke. He had already thrown away the box before I knew about it so now out the money. Since no chance taking it back, took it apart to see if could fix and the plastic base of the joystick had broke off and wouldn't sit on the pin. Pictures are of both the right and left. Will see about ordering some replacements and hope it fixes it

    Long Term - Poor Quality Build Purchased in July and in 120 days the right finger trigger/bumper broke. It is in the stuck in position making it now unusable. There is a 2-year warranty, so we will see if the company honours the warranty. However, it costs 1/4 the purchase price to mail for repair, ugh.
